i am no rainmeter coder so i have no idea from where to start but i do have some basic skills for tinkering, useless in this case lol

i am a heavy mouse and drag user, from browsing and firing functionalities through gestures to appending text to .txt or outliners etc..
it would be great if rainmeter would be upgraded with this "vital" functionality, since my desktop is a rainmeter dashboard i am always confronted with the scenario of 'dragging my way out' of the desktop's dead end

yes hoping that maybe someone could help, and also thx for your work it's really great, have a nice day

Command:
OnDropAction=[!log "Hey you dropped the file: $Directory$ - $Name$ - $Type$, or as i like to say $File$"]

Can you advise me?

I'm sorry for a bit of a late answer, i will look into this later when i have the time

This is probably just a small oversight on my side, but won't $File$ still work for you?
I might be wrong. If i am, please expand a bit and post some more code if possible, it makes it much easier to help

@echo off
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
rem Take the cmd-line, remove all until the first parameter
set "params=!cmdcmdline:~0,-1!"
set "params=!params:*" =!"
set count=0
rem Extract path
for %%a in (!params!) do (
set filepath=%%~dpa
)
cd %filepath%
... etc...
